Overwhelming Tang Chen
"Does the Clear Sky Sect know about this?"
Tang Chen's gaze swept over Ling Yi, then turned to Qian Daoliu not far to his side. "You know too?"
Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered slightly under Tang Chen's gaze, but he remained silent without saying anything. 🍬☠ Claw 🐟♠
Upon seeing this, Tang Chen, with his century of experience and keen mind, instantly deduced more information from Ling Yi's few words.
"Zhen'er is still not meticulous enough in his work," Tang Chen said casually.
It's quite obvious that there must be a spy planted by the Spirit Hall within the Clear Sky Sect, and the spy must hold a high position. Otherwise, this so-called Wu Wudi of the Rakshasa Cult wouldn't have said that only the Clear Sky Sect knew about it, and that the Spirit Hall shouldn't know.
Only when information about the Rakshasa Cult and Wu Wudi is kept relatively secret within the Clear Sky Sect and not easily known to the outside world would the other party make such a statement.
Qian Daoliu's attitude also corroborates this point; after all, given his pride, he would not deny it outright.
As for the connection between Wu Wudi of the Rakshasa Cult and the Clear Sky Sect...
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the eyes revealed through Ling Yi's black mask. Addressing this mysterious powerhouse, whose strength was clearly no less than his own or Qian Daoliu's, yet who concealed his true identity, he said, "I never expected that in just over a decade of my absence, such a powerful figure like yourself would emerge on the continent. May I inquire about the details of your relationship with the Tang Chen Clear Sky Sect? I would be delighted to hear them!"
"Oh?" Ling Yi looked at Tang Chen with some surprise upon hearing this.
It's important to understand that from the beginning until now, he and Qian Daoliu have only exchanged three or four sentences, totaling just over fifty words. Yet, in such a short time and with such limited information, Tang Chen not only discovered that there were spies planted by the Spirit Hall within the Clear Sky Sect, but also confirmed that his interactions with the Clear Sky Sect were not pleasant.
It has to be said, no wonder he was the first "Clear Sky Douluo" who single-handedly cultivated the "Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Hammer" Martial Soul to Level 99 and led the Clear Sky Douluo to the position of the number one sect in the world.
"Nothing much~" Ling Yi shrugged and said casually, "I just heard that after many years, the 'Slaughter City ' has produced another ' Deathgod,' who is also the number one genius of the world's number one sect, the Clear Sky Sect. I was just curious and wanted to practice with this 'genius'—"
Ling Yi spoke casually, but Tang Chen's expression turned solemn.
"Deathgod? A prodigy? Hao'er?!"
It was only then that Tang Chen retrieved the memories of the previous Slaughter King and discovered that nine years ago, a hundred-win champion from the Hell Slaughter Arena was born in the ' Slaughter City '.
At that time, he challenged and killed the previous Slaughter King in the Seventh Trial of the Asura God Trial and became the new Slaughter King. His consciousness was weakened because he was restrained by the "Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King". In order to avoid complications, he directly opened the Hell Road with Blood Sacrifice. The opponent also successfully broke through the Hell Road and successfully obtained the mark of the "Deathgod Domain".
"Hao'er is actually the seventh ' Deathgod ' in the ' Slaughter City Slaughter' in a thousand years?"
A look of relief and reminiscence flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
He recalled the familiar aura he had sensed during his period of unconsciousness; it seemed to belong to his grandson Tang Hao. However, because Tang Hao had experienced numerous bloody battles at the time, his aura had changed slightly, and it hadn't been a strong enough stimulus for him.
otherwise...
Shaking his head, abandoning the pointless assumptions, Tang Chen's eyes instantly sharpened as he looked at Ling Yi's black mask and said in a deep voice, "With your strength, isn't it somewhat beneath your dignity and lack of composure to attack a junior?"
Judging from Qian Daoliu's attitude, his grandson Tang Hao should be unharmed in the end; otherwise, Qian Daoliu's change in attitude just now would not have been merely a slight surprise.
At most, he'll just suffer some injuries; with the resources of the Clear Sky Sect, treatment won't be a big problem.
To reiterate, if Hao'er truly suffered some irreparable injury, Qian Daoliu's attitude would not have been so calm.
Even so, Tang Chen's grandson is not someone anyone can beat!
Sensing the growing aura emanating from Tang Chen, Ling Yi's lips curled up slightly, and a long-lost look of excitement appeared on his face. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't use my Martial Soul, nor did I go all out. I just used my fists to show that little guy named Tang Hao what it means to be arrogant and domineering."
"Oh, right," seeing Tang Chen's expression turn cold, Ling Yi tilted his head slightly and continued, "His older Tang Xiao, was also there at the time. The two brothers teamed up, so it was nothing special, huh! ' Clear Sky Twin Stars,' what a prestigious title—!"
"Fine, fine, fine—!" Tang Chen laughed in fury, a red glint flashing in his eyes. He raised his giant red magic-patterned hammer, pointing it at Ling Yi: "Since you're so confident in your strength, then let me, Tang Chen, see just how high your sky is and how thick your earth is—!!!"
"Boom--!"
An incomparably powerful aura emanated from Tang Chen, rapidly spreading in all directions and reaching over a hundred meters away in an instant, and was still rapidly advancing outwards.
At the same time, one halo after another appeared beneath Tang Chen's feet.
Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red—!!
Eight black and one red—!!!
Looking at the familiar Soul Ring Configuration, he gracefully dodged Qian Daoliu, a complex look in his eyes.
Originally, among the three Peerless Douluo of Level 99 in the world, Tang Chen's Soul Ring were two yellow, two purple, four black and one red. Although it was a ratio that ordinary Soul Master dreamed of, his Soul Ring of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, the high priest of Sea God Island, were eight black and one red. In terms of Soul Ring amplification, the two were stronger than Tang Chen.
In addition, his "Angel" Martial Soul and Bo Saixi's "Sea God" Martial Soul are of higher quality than Tang Chen's "Clear Sky Hammer" Martial Soul. Their Soul Power is also stronger than Tang Chen's. If it weren't for Tang Chen's "Ring Detonation" secret technique, his powerful Heaven Dou spirit and perfect combat skills, Tang Chen would not be a match for him and Bo Saixi at all!
More than a decade ago, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen agreed to a duel on a desolate mountain peak more than 300 miles east of Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. If Qian Daoliu had not insisted on a decisive battle with Tang Chen and given up Tang Chen air superiority, the two would not have won that battle on the mountaintop.
Ultimately, in terms of sheer strength, neither of them should be able to defeat the other.
One is "Wudi on Land," and the other is "Wudi in the Sky." As long as Qian Daoliu doesn't fall to the ground, Tang Chen can't defeat him.
Although Titled Douluo can manipulate the energy of heaven and earth to fly, in terms of both energy consumption and agility, they are generally inferior to those who can fly innately at the same level.
While Qian Daoliu was still reminiscing, Tang Chen had already charged towards Ling Yi with one hand, hammer in hand.
In just two steps, Tang Chen's tall figure and the giant red magic-patterned hammer, which was no smaller than his own body, traversed hundreds of meters and arrived more than ten meters away from Ling Yi.
Ling Yi's lips curled into a smile as he calmly watched Tang Chen appear before him. He lightly stomped his foot on the ground and went straight to meet him.
In less than a breath, the two figures had already crossed paths. Tang Chen's three-meter-tall red magic-patterned giant hammer slammed down on Ling Yi as if it were nothing, displaying his effortless and skillful technique to the fullest!
To Tang Chen's astonishment, Ling Yi did not summon his Martial Soul. Instead, he slightly turned to the side, opened his right hand, and with the sound of his blood surging like a great river flowing through his body, he struck the giant hammer from the side.
"Clang—!"
The metal gauntlets clashed with the hammer, the terrifying force interacting and being transmitted to both of them, causing Tang Chen and Ling Yi to freeze slightly.
Almost instantly, Tang Chen's eyes flashed, and the force in his hand holding the giant hammer suddenly shifted, causing several Soul Ring beneath his feet to shine brightly.
Sensing the change in Tang Chen's aura, Ling Yi remained expressionless beneath his mask. He stomped his foot hard, his Qi and Blood burning like in a furnace, and struck Tang Chen with his left hand from bottom to top.
Just then, Tang Chen also pulled his left hand from the handle of the red magic-patterned giant hammer, gripping an energy hammer that shimmered with dark light, and slammed it towards Ling Yi.
"Clang--!"
Another loud bang resounded. Qian Daoliu meters away, watched the fierce battle that had just begun. A hint of eagerness flashed across his face, but he eventually calmed down and watched the battle silently.
It is evident that both Tang Chen and the ' Wu Wudi ' clad in ferocious black armor have reached a state of perfection in combat skills. Every move they make seems to be perfectly natural, with no superfluous force and no useless action.
The two exchanged blows for about fifteen minutes. Seeing that he could not defeat his opponent, Tang Chen's face suddenly flushed an abnormal red. Immediately, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping into the air.
At this moment, six of the nine Soul Ring —eight black and one red—surrounding Tang Chen suddenly burst forth with dazzling light comparable to the sun in the sky.
As the terrifying aura surged rapidly, Tang Chen raised the giant red magic-patterned hammer high and brought it crashing down on Ling Yi's head with the force of a falling meteor.
Ling Yi did not dodge. Instead, he brought his arms to his sides, clenched his right fist, and slowly smashed the massive hammerhead Sisi wisps of golden lightning.
It was described as slow, but it was actually a visual illusion. In reality, it was extremely fast, striking first even though it was behind. Before Tang Chen's hammering force had reached its peak, the fist encased in dark gauntlets had already solidly struck the red hammer with magic patterns.
"Duang—!!!"
Golden lightning and crimson blood light merged into one in an instant and then suddenly erupted. In the earth-shattering roar, Qian Daoliu flapped his wings and retreated at the first moment, narrowly avoiding the terrifying shockwave that hit him just before it reached him.
When Qian Daoliu stopped and looked ahead, what he saw was a deep pit with a diameter of about 500 meters and a depth of at least 100 meters!
It's important to know that this is the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also the northernmost part of the Douluo Continent closest to the Ice Seal Forest and the Land of the Far North. In addition, it is the coldest season at this time of year, and the ground is harder than iron and stone under the low temperature and frost. It can be said that it is no less than the Jin Gang rock used to build the walls of great cities!
That is to say, the spectator was Qian Daoliu. Otherwise, if anyone from the Douluo Continent in the present day came here and saw this scene, they would all gasp in shock at the cold air from the Land of the Far North.
At the bottom of the deep pit, Tang Chen's hands, veins bulging, pressed firmly on the handle of the red magic-patterned giant hammer. Of the nine Soul Ring Soul Ring around him, six that were originally pitch black had become transparent.
In contrast, Ling Yi appeared quite relaxed, standing with his feet slightly apart, his left hand hanging at his side, and his right fist pressed against the surface of the red magic-patterned giant hammer. Strands Sisi golden electric arcs swirled around his body. No matter how much power Tang Chen exerted, his body, arms, and even the expression under his black mask remained completely unchanged.
The Great Sumeru Hammer's Ultimate Technique: Ring Detonation VS Magnetic Field Rotation - 50,000 Horsepower!
Golden arcs of electricity crackled across his body. Ling Yi pushed off slightly with his feet, twisted his waist, and with a powerful swing of his arm, sent the red magic-patterned giant hammer and Tang Chen flying together.
Although smoke and dust still filled the air, the scene inside the hundred-meter-deep pit was extremely clear to Qian Daoliu eyesight.
Previously, when Wu Wudi chose to confront Tang Chen head-on, Qian Daoliu only frowned slightly. However, when the two caused a destructive force comparable to a small natural disaster and remained deadlocked, he felt some pressure and motivation from the fact that Tang Chen's strength had not only not weakened but had actually increased. He was also somewhat surprised by Wu Wudi's strength.
But at this moment, seeing Tang Chen being forcefully defeated by "Wu Wudi", Qian Daoliu's calm expression was finally broken.
"Tang Chen has lost?!"
Amid Qian Daoliu's slightly dazed murmurs, under the golden sun shining in the sky, in the hundred-meter-deep pit, "Wu Wudi," covered in ferocious black armor, had Sisi of golden electric arcs swirling around his armor. He looked relaxed and carefree, as if he hadn't used much power.
But looking at the crater beneath their feet, which is 500 meters in diameter and over 100 meters deep, one can tell just how powerful the collision between "Wu Wudi" and Tang Chen was.
Compared to Wu Wudi's relaxed demeanor, Tang Chen was slammed into the side of the pit by a powerful force. The hard rock nearly a hundred meters deep could not stop his body from sinking in. He sank in for a full five or six meters before he finally managed to stop himself, still gripping the red magic-patterned giant Tang Chen tightly in his hand.
"Puff--!"
Tang Chen spat out a mouthful of dark red blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. At that moment, he felt as if his internal organs had been shattered.
Just a moment ago, he felt that his entire body, Soul Power, and mental power were suppressed in an unprecedented way.
Terrifying!
Since his debut more than a hundred years ago, Tang Chen has experienced thousands of battles, both big and small, but he has never felt such terrifying pressure!
"Whoosh!"
A golden light flashed, Qian Daoliu's figure appeared in front of the pit where Tang Chen was. Looking at Tang Chen's miserable state, his golden eyes widened like two light bulbs, his face full of disbelief.
"This... how is this possible?!"
